5. Aircraft noise characteristics

5.1 Noise propagation, brief reminder

Land transport noise sources (railways, roads) are linear, and noise decay as a function of distance is in principle "cylindrical", although shielding effects are possible. Airborne noise is 3D and, in free field conditions, its attenuation as a function of distance comprises two terms:

  • geometric, spherical attenuation: L = L 0 – 20log(d/d 0 ), which corresponds to a decrease of 6 dB per doubling of distance;

  • atmospheric absorption, which depends on frequency; negligible at low frequencies, it can be very significant at high frequencies, such as engine noise.

  • ...
